Artificial Intelligence is here, but are we all being wildly optimistic? The public has no idea what they are getting themselves into -- the benefits, the horrors and the "meh".Here is speaker and UC Berkeley alumni Bjorn Austraat's humorous take (but it's all true, which is why it's funny):

FOUR THINGS TO DO IN AI TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF FLAMING OUT QUICKLY AND UNPROFITABLY

A - Arrogance - Your solution will be the most disruptive, game-changing, revolutionary, paradigm-shifting, never-before-seen breakthrough ever. Nobody, and definitely not people who have lived through at least two other hype cycles, "gets it." Rip & replace, don't augment.

B - Business magic - Focus on a magical business model that shows infinite scalability with minimal customer acquisition costs, little or no regulatory obstacles, and a hockey-stick market penetration curve. Complicated formulas and multi-hundred tab spreadsheets with lots of assumptions a plus.

C - Communication - Impress investors, customers and the general public with imposing AI words like "neural network distributed deep learning,' "feature engineering at exabyte scale" and the like. AI communication is a combat sport and you should try to overwhelm your "opponent" with as many obscure and intimidating technical terms as efficiently as possible.
